The UK should be ashamed at having Just Dance at number 1.

I live in the UK and this makes me very sad, but maybe thats why we're slim and ALL yanks are fat? I may have bad teeth but im not fat
google 'facts about fat yanks' if you dont believe me, i think its like 80% of all yanks are fat haha

Why? A lot of families have Wii's, and that's been mass marketed toward that demograph and by all accounts its quite fun if you like that sort of thing. Far too many people who self class themselves as 'gamers' are elitist snobs.

@ Conkers
You have a valid point and I feel like that when people have a pop at Kinect. I just think there are better games where a lot more work and effort has gone into making them that deserve to be above the likes of Just Dance but that's just my opinion. I suppose it just shows how gaming and tastes have changed.

Oh and how the hell did fifa 11 beat modern warfare 2 in the uk? does that make sense?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Just Dance is very good at what it does, I'm happier to see that at number one than a porr game in an all too common genre.

A lot of people hate on casual games, not that i would play just dance but there are other casual games which are fun to play. I live on hardcore games but there's nothing wrong with having a bit of fun on a simple fun game, especially with freinds or family.
dog_man_STAR on 2 Nov '10 said:
...erm probably because it sold more copies, what part of that does'nt make sense?
MutilateTheDead on 2 Nov '10 said:

GOTY ME2 comes in at 14, funny that

ZOMG Just Dance outsold Halo Reach and RDR !!!
Insidious on 3 Nov '10 said:
Both of the ME games sold far less than they deserved to; inferior games such as MW2 stand up on a hype ME doesn't have outside ultra-core groups.
I agree that seeing Just Dance on top of the list is a huge embarrassment. And yes, before anyone makes like the above and tells me I'm an elitist snob for thinking so, I would far rather see a good game that makes clear the heart and soul of the developer has gone into it get rewarded. There are many, many more deserving titles in my eyes.
